After falling out of the teleportation, the vampire girl felt that her head had hit an iron plate, and she grimaced in pain.
Until the middle-aged knight's somewhat weak voice came from beneath her:
"Miss, you...pressed my wound."
The girl's face froze, and then she realized that she had fallen directly on top of the knight, and it was the knight's uneven armor that had been in close contact with her forehead.
At this moment, blood was faintly seeping out from the gaps in the knight's breastplate.
"Hug, hug...Sorry! Rahel! I didn't mean it!"
The girl exclaimed, and quickly twisted her body that was bound by the five-flowered flower, and moved to the side like a giant caterpillar.
Then, she immediately carefully brought her little face up and asked worriedly:
"Do you...do you feel pain? You're bleeding!"
"Ahem, I'm still not dead. The elf avoided the vital point when he attacked..."
The middle-aged knight coughed twice and said with a pale face.
With that said, he struggled to get up, but was stopped by the girl in an instant:
"Don't move, I'll untie you!"
But after saying that, she realized that she was still tied up by Wu Huada.
"Dagger...I have a dagger on my waist..."
The knight said weakly.
The girl then looked at the knight and quickly found the dagger.
Like a caterpillar, she struggled to reach the right position. She reluctantly took off the dagger from the knight's waist with the hand behind her back, and then bit by bit weaved the dagger woven from the solid magic vines around her body.
The chain of forbidden magic is cut.
After gaining freedom, she quickly cut the knight's chains without taking a breath.
"Quick! Heal your injuries first!"
The girl helped the knight up with difficulty, and then took out a water bag from her arms.
However, after opening the lid of the water bag, what hit him was the strong smell of blood. The water bag was not filled with water, but with blood.
Because it had been left for too long, the blood in the water bag had already solidified, but the girl seemed to be used to it.
She bit her fingertip again and dripped a drop of her own blood into the water bag.
As if some magical chemical reaction had occurred, as the girl's blood merged, the coagulated blood soon melted again.
The knight struggled to support his body and wanted to take the water bag from the girl's hand, but was stopped by the girl again:
"Don't move, I'll feed you."
"Rahel! You are my last relative, and I don't want to see anything happen to you! This is an order!"
Looking at the girl's stubborn gaze, the middle-aged knight felt helpless, but in the end he opened his mouth obediently, and the girl took the opportunity to send blood into his mouth.
The blood entered the knight's throat, and his eyes suddenly emitted a strange crimson light.
As he drank blood, his pale face gradually returned to normal, and the wounds on his body slowly healed.
Seeing that the knight's condition had recovered, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and then collapsed on the ground with relief:
"Huh... the Vampires are not without their merits. At least this kind of healing method is really not comparable to that of humans."
"Fortunately, I was cautious and prepared the teleportation circle a long time ago, otherwise we would really have become Castel's prisoners today!"
After saying that, she asked with some doubts:
"Rahiel, tell me... Hasn't Sebas, the Crimson Flame Blade, fallen down the rank a long time ago? Why is he still so strong? Even you, who has defeated Silver Moon's invincible hand at night, are no match for you?"
"And... who is the heir to the Castel family? That stinking book spirit actually treats her with respect and even betrays me, the contractor!"
"Strange! It's so strange! The Necronomicon didn't have such a good attitude towards that perverted Earl of Shedite before! He is a believer of the Blood Demon Archduke!"
The middle-aged knight Lahire thought for a moment and shook his head:
"I am not sure……"
"After becoming a vampire, my power at night is much stronger than during the day, but I can clearly feel that I am no match for Sebas, the Crimson Flame Blade..."
"He is not an ordinary Silver Moon. He was originally a descendant of the Blazing Sun. Before he fell, he was famous in the mercenary circles of the Black Land of East Yunet and the Kingdom of Coria."
"Now it seems... he may have found some way to restore his strength. Although he has not fully recovered to the blazing sun, it is probably far beyond the ordinary Silver Moon."
"As for Castel's heir, I have heard some rumors about mercenaries and have some uncertain speculations..."
The girl's heart moved slightly:
"you say!"
The middle-aged knight Rahel pondered for a moment and said:
"There are rumors that Charlotte of Castells awakened the favor of God a year ago when she was attacked by the Blood Demon Order and received the favor of the God Lord Harald..."
"Not long ago, there were rumors that a miracle occurred during her coming-of-age ceremony, and that the glory of God Lord Harald came directly."
"She... is probably the saint chosen by the gods!"
"If this is really the case, I'm afraid the Necronomicon has sensed the power of God Lord Harald."
"You know, for such evil holy weapons, the power of the Holy Royal Court is their greatest terror..."
After hearing what the knight said, the girl frowned:
"Can the Saint of the Holy Royal Court...be called a noble and great 'being'?"
The middle-aged knight shook his head:
"That's not clear... She can't be a reincarnated god, right? In that case, the Theocracy would have sent the Templars to escort her, but look at Castel's fleet now, including its own armored cavalry.
Only more than a hundred people came, so it was obvious that they were not taken seriously."
After listening to the middle-aged knight's words, the girl's face still looked a little ugly.
She sighed:
"Forget it, I'll just ask that damn book spirit later."
After saying that, she felt uncomfortable even thinking about it, and said depressedly:
"Damn it! The information given by that narrow-eyed prince was too inaccurate! If I had known that the masters around Castel were so strong, if I had known that Castel had so many tricks, I would definitely kill him!
The commission must be at least doubled, no, twice! No, three times!”
"Ahem...Miss, even if the commission is tripled, we cannot deal with such an opponent."
"But I can ask for help! Many of those vampires are very interested in this castle. In exchange for the castle, I don't believe that they can't find count-level vampires! I don't believe that count-level vampires can't deal with them.
!The God’s Favored One who has only been awakened for a year is not that powerful!”
Rahel:……
"Miss, a castle is worth much more than a commission."
The middle-aged knight couldn't help but said.
"But this is not our castle. Now that our identity has not been exposed, we may still be able to stay here, but we will have to leave sooner or later, and we cannot sell it to mortals, as that will harm others."
"Exchanging a castle that is destined not to belong to us in exchange for Castel's head plus a large commission, and maybe the friendship of a blood count, I think it's worth it!"
The girl said excitedly.
After hearing her words, the middle-aged knight was speechless.
As if remembering something, he couldn't help but ask:
"Speaking of which, miss, did you really put our mission contract in the storage ring?"
"How is it possible? They are all lying to them! I have always kept the mission contract in the castle."
The girl shook her head and said proudly.
After hearing her words, the middle-aged knight looked a little surprised, which made the girl feel uncomfortable:
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"No...I just didn't expect that you would also lie."
The knight shook his head.
The girl was silent.
After a moment, she said silently:
"After all... people have to grow up. From the moment I was turned into a vampire, I was no longer the same person I used to be."
As she spoke, she sighed again:
"However, our mission has been considered a failure..."
"As long as there is a way out, there is still hope for everything, miss. We will still have a chance in the future."
The middle-aged knight consoled him.
After hearing the knight's words, the girl's expression softened slightly.
She patted her face and cheered up:
"You're right, we still have a chance."
After saying that, she pursed her lips, took out a scroll she had drawn in advance, and said through gritted teeth:
"Okay, now it's time to call that damn book spirit back. Don't stop me. I'm going to teach it a lesson today! Let it know who is its contractor!"
The contractor has a contractual connection with the sacred artifact.
No matter where the sacred artifact is lost, the contractor can summon it again through the summoning contract.
Because of this, after the Book of the Dead was taken away by the opponent, the girl was not anxious at all.
However, when she input her magic power and activated the summoning scroll she had drawn in advance, she did not get a response from the Necronomicon.
The scroll was burned up in the flames of magic, the contract did come into effect, and the girl truly felt that the Necronomicon had received her summons, and then... nothing more.
The girl's eyes widened and her hair suddenly exploded:
"Not coming back? It, it, it...how dare it not come back?!"
…
"Master, there is no mercenary contract in the storage ring. We were fooled."
Holding the tattered package, Sebastian looked a little unhappy.
Hearing Sebastian's words, Charlotte slowly opened her eyes and withdrew from consciousness.
Although she had vague suspicions the moment she saw the girl and the knight escaping, Charlotte was still somewhat depressed after knowing that she had been tricked.
However, she quickly adjusted her mood and chuckled:
"Forget it, let them go, they will come back."
She had just searched for it with the help of Blood Summoning, and found that the stars representing the girl and the knight could no longer be found nearby.
Obviously, the destination of the other party's teleportation is quite far away and has been integrated with many stars in the crimson star sea. With Charlotte's current perception power, it will be very difficult to find the other party in the vast star sea.
Unless she uses the divine power of blood, and unless the other party comes near her again, it may be difficult for Charlotte to find the other party again.
However, she didn't plan to spend any extra power to actively search for the two of them.
She knew that those two people would come back sooner or later.
The Necronomicon is still with her, and the vampire girl is obviously its contractor, and unless a legendary level of power takes action, the sacred artifact contract cannot be terminated unilaterally.
Although there is a contract, the Necronomicon cannot directly betray the contractor, and Charlotte will probably not be able to learn the girl's specific information from it, and even if she knows the information, the other party can run away... But as long as Charlotte
Holding the Necronomicon, in a sense, the vampire girl's life is held in her hands.
the reason is simple.
When the Necronomicon uses its power, it will consume the power of the contractor. The power of the vampires comes from the blood. In other words, the girl most likely relies on the power of the blood and life force to maintain the operation of the Necronomicon.
This holy weapon that bullies the weak and fears the strong does not dare to cause trouble to Charlotte. If Charlotte uses this book, it will definitely continue to absorb the power of the vampire girl...
In other words, Charlotte does not intend to cut off the contract with the Necronomicon, but intends to rely on the Necronomicon to continue to bleed the vampire girl... With this fatal handle, the other party will definitely find ways to use the Necronomicon to bleed the vampire girl...
I took the book back.
Thinking of this, Charlotte suddenly felt something in her heart and looked at the Necronomicon in her hand.
At this moment, the Book of the Dead flickered slightly and was emitting a full glow.
Feeling a certain rhythm in the dark, Charlotte smiled half-heartedly:
"What? You want to run?"
The Necronomicon trembled slightly, its light extinguished on its own, and it instantly calmed down, as well-behaved as the Book of Blood.
"That's pretty much it."
Charlotte nodded with satisfaction.
…
After confirming again and again that they could not track the girl and the knight with the failed teleportation array, Charlotte and Sebas returned to the camp.
As the tide of undead recedes, the battle in the camp has ended, and the mercenaries hired by the knights and caravans are counting the casualties.
With the protection of Nice's high-level range magic, there were not many casualties in the convoy. Except for the knight Darren who was accidentally attacked and killed when he went into the woods alone for convenience, there were only four people who died under the undead knife, and they were all
The undead wave was caught off guard when it first launched its attack, and died without the protection of divine magic.
More than thirty people were injured, but the convoy was accompanied by priests, so it was easier to treat them.
"Thanks to Miss Reina's support, if Miss Reina hadn't taken action in time, I might have been killed by the undead."
In the camp, the caravan mercenary who was receiving treatment from Lottie sighed with emotion.
"Yeah, yeah, me too, me too."
Other mercenaries also agreed.
"Rena?"
Charlotte was a little curious.
"Rena?"
Sebastian was stunned for a moment, feeling that the name was somewhat familiar.
"She is a young mercenary lady who works with Kane Trading Company. She is really quite young!"
A mercenary introduced to Charlotte in a flattering manner.
Mercenary...
Charlotte suddenly became interested:
"Where is she?"
"She is... huh? Where is Miss Reina?"
"Huh? Where has she gone? She was here just now..."
The mercenaries who were about to introduce to Charlotte were slightly startled.
Seeing that there was no one to see, Charlotte didn't continue to pester.
He was just a mercenary. Although she was curious, she was not so curious that she had to meet him.
Not all mercenaries like nobles. In fact, many mercenaries, especially those young mercenaries, hate nobles very much. The other party disappeared at this time, obviously intending to avoid her. In this case, she also
Don't force it anymore.
"Those who died in this battle will receive triple the pension."
Returning to her tent, Charlotte ordered Sebas.
As she spoke, she said meaningfully:
"Also... carefully count the people in the convoy to see if there is anyone suspicious, and be careful not to expose yourself."
"Suspicious person?"
Sebastian raised his eyebrows.
"For example... a vampire who hides his identity."
Charlotte said.
Sebastian's heart moved slightly and he nodded solemnly:
"I see."
"In addition, the people who spread the news and attacked us are mercenaries who know necromancy, and the hirer is the third prince of the Crescent Kingdom."
Sebastian raised his eyebrows and saluted again:
"I will obey your orders."
After getting the order, Sebastian went down to make arrangements.
Charlotte lazily took out a glass of extraordinary blood and drank it slowly.
She did not forget that there was a vampire hidden in the convoy.
However, the other party never committed any crime and probably just hitched a ride on Castel's motorcade.
If you are just curious, there is no need for Charlotte to use the power of blood to find out the other party on her own. She can just leave this kind of thing to Sebastian.
Sebas is already a blood dependent, and he has a relatively keen sense of the breath of the blood clan.
As for the third prince who hired someone to attack her...
Although it was just a one-sided statement from a vampire girl, to be honest, Charlotte already believed it in her heart.
However, it's important to return to the territory now, so Charlotte really doesn't have time to face him for the time being.
After all, the third prince is a member of the royal family and is protected by strong men. He is not someone like Count Tulip who can be easily dealt with at close range.
Without a mercenary contract, it is indeed impossible to confirm the other party's conspiracy...but sometimes, without the need for definite evidence, rumors can solve many things.
As for the evidence... when the vampire girl came to her door obediently, she would naturally come back.
…
At the same time, in an inconspicuous tent of Castel's motorcade.
The old woman Anna frowned and looked at the girl who bowed her head in front of her:
"Leina, didn't I tell you not to take action easily along the way?"
Reina trembled, raised her head and looked at Anna helplessly with her pitiful big eyes. Seeing those beautiful eyes, the old woman felt soft and said helplessly:
"That's all, that's all. I originally wanted to observe it for a while longer, but... now that you've taken action, we must be exposed as well."
"In that case... just follow me and visit Him in person tomorrow."
